Big, bold, and colorful, the Anak Infinity Scarf represents the comfort, warmth, and intensity of a loving embrace. Ten colorwork stripes form abstract hands — two pairs with interlocking fingers. Intentionally oversized, it is a versatile piece that can be worn several ways, from a cozy looped scarf to an even cozier hood.

Coral Currents is the June design for the Traveling Earth Scarf 2023! Inspired by the ocean, it features vibrant zoanthid corals reimagined as rows of bobbles ringed with contrasting stitches. Long treble crochets flow among them representing the currents that sustain these incredible ecosystems.

The Mangga Shawlette was originally designed for Radicle Threads Magazine’s 1st Anniversary Community Box.

The Korona Cowl is inspired by a Filipino All Saints Day and All Souls Day tradition of bringing flowers and wreaths to the cemetery to honor departed loved ones. My mom told me how they would bend a thick banana plant stem into a circle and add flowers to it to make “korona,” the Kapampangan word for “wreath.”

The Kamayan Twist was inspired by Filipino kamayan feasts (aka boodle fights), communal meals where the table is covered in banana leaves and piled high with food — and everyone eats with their hands. (Worth the Google search, if you’ve never seen or enjoyed one!)

The Flying Colors Stole was originally designed for one of my nieces who had just graduated from high school. I wanted the scarf to reflect her achievements, so its shape is inspired by graduation stoles — long and narrow with pointed ends. The two-color design is perfect for school colors, but can be used with any two colors you like!

With everything going on in the world, I felt like we all needed something to celebrate—even if it was just something small. Inspired by award ribbons, the Small Victories Scarf pattern is my crochet ode to celebrating the little things and finding joy wherever we can!
